Like small restaurants in China, among the large and small shops in Chinatown, many of them reopened on the eighth day of the first lunar month.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, I chatted with Shi Xiaolei all morning. On the seventh day, Claire and the others boarded the flight and headed back to New York.

"Aren't you going back?" After Shi Xiaolei finished answering the call from Claire at the Honolulu airport, Stark asked casually: "As usual, the first day after the new year's end should be open for business." It's very important. Is it appropriate for you, the boss, not to show up in the store?"

"It's okay, I have already greeted those old and regular customers in the New Year's text message." Shi Xiaolei replied with a smile: "They won't mind. As for the new customers who came to the door for the first time...they don't know who They are the real bosses, and it doesn’t make any difference to them whether I go or not.”

"You will still enjoy the blessing." Stark gave a thumbs up: "Unlike me, alas, I have to go back the day after tomorrow."

"It's a comparison?" Shi Xiaolei rolled his eyes: "Please, I'm just a small shop with a few hundred square meters, how much money can I make in a day? If it's the same as the group company in your hand, every day There are endless things to do...I'm not idle, why do I keep driving it to find things for myself. "

"SO, can I understand that you are envious of me?"

"Envy you?" Shi Xiaolei shrugged: "Just be happy."

While chatting, Pepper came to Stark's side.

Although the dress is not as formal as going to work in the company, Pepper still holds a document in his hand: "Tony, a fax from the fleet."

"Let me take a look." Taking off the sunglasses on his face, and taking the printed fax from Pepper, Stark glanced at it: "...what's going on, something happened in the Middle East again ?”

"I've confirmed that it's not a problem caused by war or political turmoil, it's just an accident." Pepper shook his head, and sat down on the beach chair beside Stark: "A container from Malaysia to France The cargo ship had a breakdown while passing through the canal—because the propeller on the right side suddenly stopped working, causing its course to change... Maybe it was simply uncontrollable, or part of the reason was that the helmsman failed to react in time, in short , the boat ran aground in the middle of the canal, blocking the passage of traffic."

"... How long will it take to regain unimpeded flow?"

"The local government is already organizing rescue, but it's hard to say when it will be restored." After a pause, Pepper continued to ask: "Tony, how should I respond to this request? Is it to let Captain Vincent stay temporarily?" Stay where you are and wait for the canal to be cleared. Or let him change direction and take a detour around the Cape of Good Hope?"

"Well~." After thinking for a moment, Stark expressed his decision: "Don't wait, let him change the route directly and go to the Cape of Good Hope. To be honest, I don't trust the execution ability of the Egyptians."

"Okay, I'll reply to Captain Vincent right now." With a promise, Pepper stood up.

Before leaving, she thought of one thing, she stopped again, turned her head to look at Shi Xiaolei: "Loke, do I need to send a message for you?"

"Eh?"

"Have you forgotten? Atlanta, San Juan, San Diego, Juneau..."

"Oh." Before Pepper finished reporting his name, Shi Xiaolei had already reacted.

Turning over and sitting up, Shi Xiaolei smiled at Pepper embarrassingly, and Shi Xiaolei hurriedly asked: "It's time to tell them that you have worked hard. So what, Pepper, please send them a separate fax for me later, just Say, just say..."

"Do you need me to prepare a manuscript for you?" Seeing Shi Xiaolei who was hesitating, Pepper smiled thoughtfully.

"Is it possible?" Shi Xiaolei's eyes lit up: "I'm really not good at this... It's okay to let me make a phone call, but it's writing essays, alas."

"Okay." Amused by Shi Xiaolei's embarrassment, Pepper said with a smile: "Let me write it for you. However, in order to show your sincerity, you'd better call the girls yourself."

"Of course." While thanking Pepper with a smile, Shi Xiaolei gestured: "I'll call in a while. By the way, what time is it over there now? If it's too late, it happens to be midnight, then I'll call It will take a while to grow."

"The time difference between the island and the other side is exactly twelve hours." While speaking, Pepper raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's eleven o'clock in the morning, that is to say, it's ten o'clock at night on the other side of the canal." a little."

"...Then I'll wait until seven or eight o'clock in the evening." After a few seconds of hesitation, Shi Xiaolei made a choice: "Since there is an accident, maybe the girls don't have to take turns to be on duty today... It's rare that there is a On rest days, let them sleep for a while. Later, when they wake up, I will call back."

"Okay~lightnovelpub.net~ Pepper nodded: "The girls will be very happy knowing that you are so considerate. "

"What's the matter? Compared to their hard work, I just said a few nice words."

"Women, they just like to listen to good things." After saying this with a smile, Pepper glanced at Stark again. Pepper turned around and left the beach unhurriedly.

Seeing Pepper's leaving back, and Stark lying back on the beach chair, Shi Xiaolei suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at? It's so sudden. It's kind of scary, you know?"

"It's nothing." After waving his hand, Shi Xiaolei followed suit, and lay back on the beach chair again: "I'm thinking about what to say to the girls when I'm on the phone... By the way, Tony, you've been lying like this, what are you doing?" Don't care about everything, leave everything to Pepper?"

"It's rare to have a vacation, I have to relax." Picking up the cup on the small table, sipping the drink with a straw in his mouth, Stark replied with a word: "Say me, aren't you the same? Lying here by myself, let a group of little girls run around outside."

"That's because they want to realize their own value." Shi Xiaolei smiled: "Speaking of which, is this **** mission the fourth or fifth?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be the fourth trip." Stark replied: "It's the first trip to bring things from Louisiana to the island. And then...from the Netherlands to Florida, from San Francisco to Singapore , made two more trips. That’s right, this time from Thailand to Italy happened to be the fourth trip.”

"Isn't there another trip from Xiangjiang to Cape Town, South Africa?"

"Did you forget? There was a change in that order, and it was replaced by air, and it didn't ship at all."

"Uh, yeah... I really don't remember."
